Trump Authorizes Private Sector Participation in Offensive Cyber Operations

The White House has authorized private sector participation in government-directed offensive cyber operations targeting transnational groups. Security experts have raised concerns about the potential for escalation and difficulties in accurately attributing attacks.

Why it matters: Organizations with cyber capabilities may face government requests to conduct offensive operations; practitioners should understand legal exposure, rules of engagement, and attribution risks in any such involvement.
